Well, of course, when ya put it that way. Everyone knows that when a DA refuses to prosecute, it automatically means the defendant is guilty...Accused of rape refused to prosecute by the DA, and then settled in a civil case? Ok.

The civil and criminal cases were separate actions, and civil cases frequently get settled out of court.Accused of rape refused to prosecute by the DA, and then settled in a civil case? Ok.

The DA might very well have thought Kobe was guilty as sin, but when the defendant refused to testify, added to the evidence of her having multiple sexual encounters during that same time frame, it became very difficult, if not impossible, to prove that it was not consensual.
Plus there's that pesky Constitution and the right to face one's accuser...
How the crash has turned into democrats and republicans is beyond me.
The constitution only applies to outstanding Republican's, not democrats or celebrities.
I think its a pretty sad deal. Grew up watching MJ and then Kobe. The dude made some pretty bad mistakes, unlike most of the people, but it definitely appears he turned his life and was doing everything he could to enjoy his life after basketball and focusing on his family.
He had 4-5 daughters.I read that of that coach, wife, and daughter that died, there was another 16 year old daughter they left behind. Sad deal.
